Second Bite: Coconut House

It has been a while since I last visited Quezon Memorial Circle. But I still remember the two times I dropped by this place known to be a date spot by some locals. The park was crowded with Pokemon Go players running around trying to catch Charizard, Squirtle, Pikachu and pretty much every single one spawning here and there. And one of the hottest spots to get the rare Pokemons was Coconut House. The place was like a gold mine. Since it was really humid during my last visit, I decided to buy one ice drop to cool me down. And it was refreshing! I then promised myself that I'll swing by again to try its food.

Hello, Coconut House!

It was one rainy Monday when I visited but the servers bright smiles sure changed my gloomy mood.

The place was simple and very straightforward. There's a counter in front with a menu board on top, a few shelves with coconut-based products, and several tables and chairs.

First Bite: New Kamameshi House

Japanese restaurants never fail to charm me like light to fly. I’d go to one for lunch or dinner if I have the chance to do so. And when I spotted New Kamameshi House during one of our Pokemon Go runs, R already knew where we were going to have dinner. 

Hello, New Kamameshi House.

I heard that this Japanese restaurant is one of the pioneers in Quezon Memorial Circle. With it having several years of being in business, my expectation from this place went up a bit. 

There were not a lot of people when we dropped by around 7:30 pm on a Sunday night. In fact, there were only 2 other tables occupied then. 

First Bite: Coconut House

I love how Pokemon Go brings me to places. R is not the type who likes to go out and eat but since he is very much into Pokemon Go, we have been going around the city and hanging out in crowded places these past weeks. One of the places we recently frequent is Quezon Memorial Circle which is known to be a hot spot for Pokemon hunting. One of the best spots in the area is Coconut House which has three Pokestops within reach.

Hello, Coconut House!

This restaurant is quite interesting as it is known for incorporating coconut in ALL of its dishes. However, we were still full from our heavy lunch when we opted to hang out outside the restaurant. 

The intense humidity though made me want something cool so I checked out some of Coconut House’s cold treats and decided to get a popsicle. One coconut popsicle only costs PHP8! Talk about cheap thrills! It is also a great blast from the past treat.
